Ava Emerson had always led a reluctantly sheltered existence. Friendship was a luxury that came with questions she couldn’t afford to answer.

They were an unlikely pair. He lived behind his mask and his roses, and she lived behind her secrets, yet they shared a bond that could get them killed if anyone ever found out.

Times were changing. The city was in turmoil. The weak were unprotected and someone needed to make a stand. But Dimitri wasn’t the only one with eyes on the north, or Ava, and they will stop at nothing to claim them both.

When two same yet different worlds come crashing together you have a work of art in a book. The author has managed to keep me entertained throughout the whole book by dangling pieces of the story so you are informed of what may be happening but it could take a different turn. I didn’t want it to end I will say that for sure because she sucked me into the story from the beginning. In this powerful story you have action, deceit, suspense, love, heartache and scenes that will make you feel like your right there in the room with details. The writing style is flawless and smooth even when you are taken back in time or present so you are let into the author’s web as it unravels.

There was no stones left unturned and she definitely didn’t keep anything back while telling this story between the crazy and hectic world of Ava and Dimitri. These two along with secondary main characters go through some changes that will wow you, trust me it is a nonstop emotional roller coaster from beginning to the end. Ava sees the world through her eyes and refuses to let it be deterred even as the world is crumbling around. She is forced to endure hell every day but not as one should from such as young age. Will this make her a stronger woman when she is thrown in a sticky situation. Dimitri, I loved his character the most. I wanted to cry for him because of everything he went through and still does. However, that is what made him who he is. He tends to act like he is uncaring and fierce without a cause to live for in my opinion, he is only loyal to one person. Ava and Dimitri are very different yet so similar and those two chemical balances is what may tear them apart.

The cover peaked my interest to read this novel! This is a key interest of mine is what or how a cover relates to a novel. I love how they took and actually related from the story and did not just throw a picture on the cover. Especially after you read this by the edge of your seat book you will see how perfect the cover was. It is dark yet shows some kind of redemptions that could possibly come out of it. Grab this you will not be disappointed!!!!!
